About The Structure of Democracy
The 'Structure of Democracy'
is the way that we organize our government, political parties, and civic institutions to insure accountability between elected officials and the people. The struggle over ratification of the federal Constitution in 1787 started a debate over the structure of democracy in America that has continued ever since. Unfortunately, millions of Americans from all sides of the political spectrum are now saying that this structure of democracy isn't working anymore and they want it changed. But how to change it isn't clear. For this reason, the Institute for the Study of Civic Values has established this web page as a resource center for people working to promote democracy in America.
